  • For the prevent of fire accident or explosion disasters from inflammable gas and vapour, flame arresters are used in chemical equipment, oil tank or other similar installation. The flame arresters have been used mainly wire gauze type. Wire gauze type flame arrestes is affected several factors. We have know that the quenching ability has a great of difference the preference in accordance with flame velocity, direction of flame propagation and wire net of mesh and number of qauze and introduce examination result data quoated from the abroad.

  • Goverment and enterprises have been devoting a lot of dffort in order to prevent the loss of human and property due to a large, diversified fire, explosion, global warming and disasters caused by natural phenomena. But Enterprises came forward and running in the economy priority policy for profit-seeking until now in order to meet the macro purpose of quality improvement of national life and welfare promotion in company with National growth, as a result of lax risk management have had to endure the loss of precious lives and property. According to the '2007 Survey of public safety for the activation of the safety culture' of National Emergency Management Agency [NEMA], a insensitivity of safety in our society was surveyed 'a serious level'. In this study, surveyed need of 'step-by-step fire protection safety management system builds' in order to prevent fire safety accident and improvement of safety awareness level through a systematic management and real condition estimation of not only large business that can control risk management, but also small business that has a big risk to occur accident easily according to small budget and organization.

Heat Transfer Characteristics of Bulkhead Penetration Piece for A60 Class Compartment II: Fire Resistance Test for Piece Material and Insulation Types (A60급 구획 적용 격벽 관통용 관의 열전달 특성 II: 관 재질 및 단열재 종류에 따른 방화시험)

  • In the case of a fire accident on a ship or an offshore plant, the design of the bulkhead penetration piece must be verified via a fire test procedure (FTP), as specified by the Maritime Safety Committee (MSC). The purpose of this study is to verify both the numerical analysis results and the design specifications for penetration pieces that could be applied to the A60 class bulkhead division. In this study, the FTP was carried out in accordance with the test procedure prescribed in the MSC regulation. In order to review the fire resistance performance according to the material type, bulkhead penetration pieces for the FTP were made from brass, carbon steel for machine structures (S45C), and austenite stainless steel (SUS316). In addition, spray-type insulation and mechanical fastener-type insulation were applied to investigate the fire resistance performance according to the type of insulation. To verify the heat transfer numerical analysis results for the A60 class bulkhead penetrating piece from this test study, the design specifications of the penetrating piece material and the insulation type applicable to a ship and an offshore plant were identified.

  • This study aims to maintain the safety of an outdoor storage tank through the fundamental case analysis of explosion and fire accidents in the storage tank. We consider an accident caused by the explosion of fire inside the tank, as a result of the gradual spreading of the residual fire generated by wind lamps flying off a workplace in the storage tank yard. To determine the cause of the accident, atmospheric diffusion conditions were derived through CCTV image analysis, and the wind direction was analyzed using computational fluid dynamics. Additionally, the amount of oil vapor inside the tank when the floating roof was at the lowest position, and the behavior of the vapor inside the tank when the floating roof was at the highest position were investigated. If the cause of the explosion in the storage tank is identified and the level of the storage tank is maintained below the internal floating roof, dangerous liquid fills the storage tank, and the vapor in the space may stagnate on the internal floating roof. We intend to improve the operation procedure such that the level of the storage tank is not under the Pontoon support, as well as provide measures to prevent flames from entering the storage tank by installing a flame arrester in the open vent of the tank.

  • A comparative study on the prevention regulation of historical heritage between Korea and Japan. Every years fire accident to historical building is increasing such as Daewoongjun, Naksansa, Namdaemun and so on. The aim of this comparative study is to investigate and compare the prevention regulation in the side of fire safety of historical building between Korea and Japan. This study focus on the background of development and exchange of Fire safety law in Japan because of same condition, building material and prevention regulation.

  • A Fire Safety Evaluation Module(FSEM), which quantitatively evaluates the risk of evacuees when fire occurs in buildings or ships, is presented in this paper. The developed FSEM can be applied to multi-room structure. Basic input data for the FSEM are prepared by fire model and evacuation model. CFAST which is one of the existing fire models is used as fire model and MonteDEM evacuation model was developed for evacuation model, respectively. MonteDEM evacuation model makes use of distinct element method and Monte-Carlo simulation, and it can also take into consideration ground inclination by ship motions in order to simulate the real situation of evacuation. Some typical situations are modelled for illustrative examples and quantitative assessment of evacuee's risk under fire accident is carried out.

  • Larger amount of composite materials are used for light train. These days even the body structure of the coach was made by composite materials. In this study, we made the fire simulation with FDS by HRRPUA method for the passenger coach of carbon-epoxy composite material body structure. For the body structure fire resistance verification, 1.8 liters of gasoline were selected for fire source. For the interior fire case, 4.0 liters of gasoline fire source was selected as Daegu fire accident case.
